MACHINE FOR TRANSFORMING BOILED SUGAR INTO A GREAMY PASTE.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVILHELM J OSEF SLUKA, a subject of the Emperor ofAustria- ].Iungary, residing at Vienna, Empire of Austria-Hungary, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines forlransforming Boiled Sugar into a Creamy Paste; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

To give boiled sugar the creamy nature or aggregate state in which it issuitable for use as cake icings or the like, or for filling certainsorts of bonbons, the boiled sugar paste had hitherto to be poured on toa cooled plate and worked thereon by means of spatulas until the desiredconsistency or aggregate state was obtained.

The object of the present invention is a machine by means of which thecooling and working of the sugar paste is effected com pletelyautomatically.

Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing show a type of machineconstructed according to the invention in side elevation partially insection and in end view respectively.

A horizontal tubular casing 1 is arranged in the frame of the machine.In this casing 1, which is double-walled and cooled by water circulatingbetween the two walls a rotating worm 2 is arranged, which is driven bya pulley 4c on the worm spindle 3. Above the casing 1 a basin 5 isarranged in the machine frame, which serves to hold the boiled sugar. Atthe deepest part of the basin 5 a discharge socket 6 is provided for thesugar, which discharge may be controlled by a stop valve tap, or slide7. At the side of the discharge orifice in the basin 5 a shell like bentplate 9 is provided which passes downward into an inlet flange 8 on thecasing 1. Further a fan 10, bellows, or the like is provided in thelower part of the frame, which forces a current of air through avertical pipe 11, the mouth of which is directly below, and at the sideof the discharge orifice of the basin 5 and opposite the shell likeplate 9.

The jet of sugar flowing out of the discharge socket 6 is thrown againstthe plate Specification of Letters Patent.

9 by the current of air issuing from the pipe 11 and is thus cooled andfurther cooled while flowing down the plate 9. From the latter, thesugar flows by the flange 8 into the casing 1 and is worked therein bythe rotating worm 2 and simultaneously conducted toward the dischargeside of the easing 1. The sugar is constantly cooled while it is beingworked by the water circulating between the walls of the casing 1. The

sugar paste in the desired creamy state is finally discharged from themachine through the hole 12.

Claims:

1. In a machine for transforming boiled sugar into a creamy paste, thecombination of a basin for the boiled sugar, a casing, means forkneading the sugar inclosed by such casing, a discharge opening in suchbasin, whereby the sugar is caused to flow from the basin into the saidcasing, and means for blowing air against the sugar flowing from thebasin into the casing, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. In a machine for transforming boiled sugar into a creamy paste, thecombination of a basin for the boiled sugar, a casing, means forkneading the sugar inclosed by such casing, a discharge opening in suchbasin, whereby the sugar is caused to flow from the basin into the saidcasing, a plate connecting the basin and the casing and means forblowing air against the sugar flowing from the basin into the casingwhereby the sugar is thrown against the said plate, substantially as andfor the purpose described.

8. In a machine for transforming boiled sugar into a creamy paste, thecombination of a basin for the boiled sugar, a casing, a dischargeopening in such basin whereby the sugar is caused to flow from the basininto the said casing, a worm contained in such casing whereby the sugarentering the casing is kneaded and means for blowing air against thesugar flowing from the basin into the casing, substantially as and forthe purpose described.

In testimony whereof, I afiiX my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.
